The Dunedin Evening Star commented briefly on the inler-Provincial matches as follow s:—“ During the holiday season just concluded several inter- Provineial cricket fixtures have been fought in the centres of the Dominion. The contests began with the defeat of Canterbury at the hands of Auckland, which entitled the latter to the possession of the Plunket Shield, and ended on Saturday with the hollow win of Auckland over Otago, thus enabling the Northern Association to retain till next season ihe possession of the trophy presented by His Excellency the Governor. We do not grudge the Aucklanders their meritorious win, lor they showed immense superiority over both Canterbury and the team representative of this district, nor is it our purpose to ‘ rub it in ’ to Otago for the mediocre displays throughout the past fortnight’s holiday tour. “ Auckland’s success is mainly, if not entirely, d\ie to the services of the ‘ coach’ (R elf) imported last season, who, by the way, was a member of the M.C.C.’s team which visited Australia in 1903. Canterbury already recognises what a professional ‘ coach ’ means, and has determined to import one next season. We hope that the local Association will take similar steps. The deterioration of local cricket ot late years has been marked. The material is among the colts, if properly developed, and there is no reason why Otago should not again approach the high standard attained under the tuition of Lanton (than whom no better all-round exponent of the game was ever seen on our playing grounds), provided that the right man is selected for coaching purposes. If action is intended by the Otago Association, it should be taken promptly, so that the professional may be engaged in time to be here at the beginning of next season.” C R IC K E T IN IN D IA .

Buslnell’s interesting review of Pennsylvania’s athletic achieve­ ments in every branch of sport during 1906-7 is very well illustrated and admirably pro­ duced, the paper and printing leaving nothing to be desired. It is told how, after winning the Inter-Collegiate Championship by de^ feating both Haverford and Cornell, the cricket team, through the assistance of interested alumni, made their trip over here last season and played against many of our strongest colleges and schools. The results of the matches played in England are stated, but full scores are not given. It is s-id to find the uncricket-like word “ inning ” frequently recurring in the account of the team’s doings, although it must be admitted that it is one frequently met with in American publications. * Pennsttlvinia’s Athletic Year o f 1906-7.
